Speechless Sunday - Craftsman Passion

 

My absolute favorite style of home is the Craftsman. I was attending an inspection in a popular Charlotte community (Wilmore) on Friday morning before heading to Atlanta for the AR Meet-Up. I watched as contractors arrived to complete this gorgeous renovation across the street from our inspection.

 

Craftsman style homes in Charlotte NC's Wilmore community

 

The original home was likely built in the 1940's and with the typical great bones of the homes of this era, the renovations that are being done are simply icing on the cake of a wonderful home. The lucky buyers who will be moving into this lovely home will enjoy living in a great community and within a top-ranked school zone.

Thanks for sharing!  I love a great craftsman as well!  I hope they preserved some of the intricate details on the inside too!

I love that porches seem to be making a come back.  Now if we can just get neighbors out there and visiting with one another.

While new homes are being built, it's the older ones that have weathered the test of time

Believe it or not, we have this style in Arizona as well.  Being that we get so many visitors for the Winter, our styles have been influenced by other states as well.

Good morning Debe - It is great to see a well maintained home.  Porches on homes are indeed making a comeback.

Good morning Debe.  One of my favorite things about visiting the mid-west was the amazing craftsman homes.  They don't make them like that any more!

That is a great looking home. We have a community here that is mostly Craftsman style homes that have been renovated through the years and it's great just the drive through sometimes and look at them.

Craftsman (today maybe "Craftspeople" ?:} )  style homes more than most others have a personality all their own...the kind that warms the 
welcome home to the buyers in a way no other can.

I have become more of a new home person with modern accents but Craftsman is a wonderful styyle that can take an eclectic decor.

They don't make them like that anymore. I love the older houses. I grew up watching my dad's cousins fix up a 100 year old farmhouse. That left an impression on me. It turned out to be a beautiful home with all of the original woodwork, pocket doors and a second floor with bay windows. That's one reason I just bought a fixer upper. I don't mind the work, and I find the finished job to be very rewarding.
